According to the Guidebook, that intrinsic causes undead to periodically flee from you, presumably in fear. Can anyone confirm that it's correct?

Supposedly it also


However, I never quantified its effects - in fact, I don't even know how (or when) you obtain it in a non-hacked game, as merely having that birth effect doesn't seem to grant it at level one.

It doesn't do critical hits, and doesn't seem to add the "he was a natural enemy of the undead" intrinsic at any level. I know because i played a HE archer all the way through with sun's messenger hoping for the double criticals. Didn't make a difference when using a regular bow. (ie: i assumed that using a normal bow would be like using sun's messenger on a regular char) which was incorrect.

incorrect, at least for char's born with the message. It might work if you get the intrinsic but that is never triggered.

I believe I had undead flee from me with this birth message a few versions back, but never noticed any difference in criticals. It's hard to quantify this because getting that special message is so rare in the first place.

I've had undead flee from me in 1.1.1 as a result of this IIRC.

By looking at the code I would say that anon123 is right. But let the Creator answer this as well. :)

anon123 is right. It does have an effect.
